SolutionsFraud Prevention

Secure your platform from fraud attacks

Stay ahead of fraudsters with Smile ID's sophisticated fraud detection and prevention solutions.

Trusted users from the start

Ensure true user identity using biometrics

Verifying ID numbers alone is insufficient to catch most fraud. Biometric face matching ensures that only legitimate users are signing up for accounts.

Build risk profiles with watchlist screening

Screen users against sanctions, PEP and adverse media lists to monitor a user’s risk level.

Detect duplicate accounts

Scan all previously checked faces and get notified if there is a match reliably indicating if a user has signed up for or attempted to sign up for your service in the past.

Facial biometrics designed to prevent fraud

Step 1: Face Matching

We authenticate the identity of a user by matching the selfie they have taken to an existing image on an identity document or to an ID authority record.

Step 2: Liveness Checks

Step 3: Spoof Detection

Protect your platform and your customers from fraud

Automatically spot anomalies to prevent fraud on your platform & onboard trusted users.

Highly accurate face matching

SmartSelfie™ is designed for African faces: we have trained our machine learning algorithms on over 5M African faces to produce a 99.8% matching accuracy rate in real-time.

Biometric two-factor authentication

Biometric two-factor authentication protects your customers' accounts from theft and other vulnerabilities at transaction points.

Anti-spoof detection

Our algorithm checks for spoof images from simple fakes, such as photos of printouts or other screens, to complex “deep fake” images to ensure the selfie is of the user behind the camera.

Prevent onboarding of risky users

Screen new and existing users against over 1100 global and African sanctions, PEP and adverse media watchlists to ensure you aren’t letting known fraudsters into your platform.
